Unfortunately I tested out one of the bandages and the adhesive on these bandages is not good. Almost as soon as I put it on, it started peeling off. Other then that they would be perfect.

I think you did have the right idea looking in other countries though. As a matter of fact, the advice I would give to a lot of people here who are trying to find recently discontinued products, is to go online and look overseas. Many products continue to be sold overseas for years after they are discontinued in the US. That gives you a last chance to stock up on the item. Also eBay makes it cheap and easy to buy from overseas. I posted here a while ago about ordering an American brand tool set from overseas. The tool set was discontinued in the US four years ago, but still selling overseas. I had some problems ordering it, and the shipping cost was high, but I still think it was worth it.
Curad has never been any good. Not even in the 60s. I do not understand how they are still in business.

Yeah, that's what I see now. I have never before bought Curad, and I probably won't buy them again. I'll have to keep looking for some decent plastic bandages. It's too bad Band-Aid can't still make their classic plastic Band-Aids.

I just wish I had the metal box. The bandaids lose their stickiness over time in those cardboard boxes. I have to keep mine in a ziplock bag.

I actually still have Bandaids in the metal tins. A couple of them. Packed somewhere. Perhaps an indication that I should totally unpack someday.

Pickup cars like the Ranchero and El Camino, and inline six engines.

Chef Boyardee spaghetti sauce in a can. I remember as a kid, when my aunt was real busy and wanted to give us something to eat, she would cook up a pot of spaghetti and warm up a can of this.

Aunt Millie's Marinara Sauce.

(Along with hundreds of other things I can no longer find, like regular, normal Old El Paso Refried Beans....but luckily there are Dollar stores, where good products go to die)
